This years’ vacation ended mid-August but summer lingers on into September. Late summer thunderstorms gave rise to some amazing skies, including an incredible double rainbow.

Cooper has grown and his personality is developing. He is intelligent and contact seeking. He has coped well with being left alone at home for a few hours in the mornings.

Nice to be taking dog walks again. Cooper has found a labradoodle friend called Ted. We meet at Färjenäs and Cooper and Ted, who is only a couple of days older than Cooper, tear around on the field until they have worn each other out.

Headed to the summer house on the weekends to suck out the last of the summer sun. Cooper loves it. He is so happy when we get there on Friday evening and so unhappy when we go to leave on Sunday afternoon.
